As quick as they are to put together, they aren’t super quick start to finish. You do need to chill them in the freezer overnight.
Are Popsicles Keto Friendly?
The typical popsicles that you find on the grocery store shelves are high in sugar and not keto friendly at all. That’s why these low carb popsicles are so great! They each have just 1 net carb per serving. Perfect for keeping your macros in check.
This recipe makes 8 servings.

Can You Eat Berries on Keto?
A big learning curve to the keto diet is learning to recognize that not ALL fruits aren’t ideal for this healthy eating style. Yes, they are high in vitamins and nutrients, but some are not suited for keto.
In fact, many people are afraid of eating berries on their keto diet, because they know that fruits, in general, are high in carbs and sugar. That isn’t the case with some fruits though. Here are the fruits that are perfectly acceptable on keto:
Avocados
Avocados have just 2 grams of net carbs and 10g grams of healthy fat. Avocados are great for keto!
Most Berries
Most berries are actually okay in moderation on keto. For example, a 1 cup serving of strawberries, blackberries or raspberries has 7 grams of net carbs (or less). Blueberries are higher in carbs (roughly 18 grams of net carbs per 1 cup serving), so be sure to avoid overdoing it with those.
How Long Can You Store These Low Carb Popsicles in the Freezer?
If you don’t have a handful of people ready to gobble these popsicles up right away, you may be wondering how long you can store these low carb popsicles in the freezer.
As long as they are stored properly, these can be kept in the freezer for up to 1 month. After freezing them store them in an air tight freezer bag or container for best results.
Tips for Making These Low Carb Popsicles
The following tips will help you create the best keto popsicles!
Be Patient
Trust me, I get that it’s hard to wait for a delicious treat like this, but it’s important to allow it time to freeze completely. Otherwise, you’ll just be having a slushie.
Leave the Berries Whole
Leaving the berries whole adds to the experience of enjoying these popsicles. When you are eating them, it’s yummy to bite into the fruit pieces as you go.
Do Any Substitutions Work With This Recipe for Low Carb Popsicles?
Yes, you can make substitutions in this recipe, but you’ll need to account for them in taste and possible changes to your net carbs.
Use Different Berries
Swapping out berries can completely change the taste of these delicious popsicles. For instance, you can swap out the strawberries for the blueberries, or the blueberries for blackberries, etc. Don’t forget though that your carb count may change if you do this.
Use Different Milk
You can use a different type of milk (coconut milk, etc), but you’ll have to be prepared for your popsicles to have a different texture or a slightly different taste to it. It’s also important to make sure that the milk you choose is keto friendly.
Chop Up Your Berries
If you prefer, you can chop up your berries into smaller pieces. It will change the look and experience of the popsicle, but it’s a great way to mix it up a bit.
